To the delight of stuffed crust fans everywhere, Papa Johns has just unveiled its new Epic Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Pizza.
Back in December of 2020, Papa Johns launched its original Epic Stuffed Crust, and this quickly became one of the most in-demand menu items. Following that initial success, Papa Johns has expanded its stuffed crust offerings to include the new Epic Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Pizza. As the name suggests, this new product consists of the brand's original, fresh never-frozen dough hand-stuffed with Papa John's signature pepperoni. As Papa Johns' Senior Vice President of Menu Strategy and Product Innovation explains, "Pepperoni is a classic pizza topping that our customers order time and time again, and the addition of Epic Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Pizza and Spicy Pepperoni Rolls to our menu offers consumers more ways to savor their favorite topping, making Papa Johns the ultimate pepperoni destination.”
